Subject: Certification for DCM Consistency for the proposed US 70 Havelock Bypass in Craven
County. TIP No. R-1015. WBS 34360.1.2.
Dear Madam:
The purpose of this letter and information package is to request concurrence from the Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) for the North Carolina Department of Transportation's (NCDOT) consistency
certification for this project. This request consists of additional impacts needed for installation of
permanent bents at Permit Site 9 which will result in 0.0105 ac of mechanized clearing, 0.0256 ac of
excavation, and 0.0294 ac of temporary fill in wetlands for matting. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
and N.C. Division of Water Resources are aware of these changes and intend to address this as an in -field
permit modification.
As you are aware, the US 70 Bypass of Havelock is currently under construction, and this review is urgently
needed so that work at the site can proceed.
Enclosed you will find a revised impact summary sheet accounting for the proposed revisions.
NCDOT has reviewed the State's coastal program under 15 CFR 930.58 and 15A NCAC 07M.
Specifically, we have considered the shoreline erosion, mitigation and coastal water quality policies, and
the Craven County CAMA Core Land Use Plan as well as the City of Havelock 2030 Comprehensive
Plan. NCDOT certifies that the proposed activity complies with the enforceable policies of North
Carolina's approved management program and will be conducted in a manner consistent with said
program.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Gordon Cashin at (919) 749-
0442 or [e-mail].
Sincerely,
EDocuSigned by:
